Intelligent collision avoidance method for a swarm of unmanned surface vehicles based on deep reinforcement learning

Disclosed is an intelligent collision avoidance method for a swarm of unmanned surface vehicles based on deep reinforcement learning; firstly, a theoretical framework of autonomous learning collision avoidance of a swarm of unmanned surface vehicles based on deep reinforcement learning is proposed, and the LSTM neural network memory ability is integrated to realize the continuity of collision avoidance actions; then, according to the USV environment in the framework, the characterization method is obtained, and the USV collision avoidance reward and punishment function is proposed to evaluate the collision avoidance effect; finally, an intelligent collision avoidance training system for a swarm of unmanned surface vehicles is formed. The simulation and verification of this disclosure show that the USV trained in this disclosure can navigate safely in the collision avoidance environment with a swarm of unmanned surface vehicles and realize intelligent collision avoidance.
